Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[Tashim]

I had ffxiv crashing/bsod issues until I disabled AA on my video card. the game doesnt look as pretty, but its 100% more stable. the game settings don't actually let you set AA to off or 0, so you have to override it.

I'm affraid of getting irreversible damage on my desktop.
Tried for the last time, troubleshoot everything, and still got the damn bsod.
i'm sad because this is the first mmo i've ever played and i liked it so much. I'll try for the very last time downgrading my gpu drivers
My specs:
Core i3 - 3,10ghz
GTX 650 Ti 1gb ddr5
2x 4gb kingston hyperx blu 1333 mhz

Hope i can get to play normal again. Not just the bsod errors but the connection lags, i'm tired of being killed by lv1 ladybugs with that damn connection lag

I think I fixed mine! (got an evening of straight gameplay after usually crashing during or just after log in)
Rig: (it's old, don't laugh, I had kids...)
Core 2 duo, e8400 OC'd to 3.2ghz
GTX460
Asus p5q-pro
4gb ram
win7 home premium x64
corsair 560watt psu

Tried:
reinstall game
old nvidia drivers (clean install)
new nvidia drivers (clean install)
registry cleaning
Defrag
memtest
Thought it could be low psu watts, but EQ2 ran just fine, and problem was limited to FFXIV...
MSI Afterburner (Worked!)

When I opened afterburner to get more info on my card, I found it was running higher than spec's (by a lot) according to the nvidia website. So I downclocked it back to (near) factory specs and increased fan speed to be sure the card stayed cool... and =) Got a full evening of play in.

Today, I logged in and BSOD'd right after log in (no downclock)... rebooted, started Afterburner, clocked things down... and still on 30 mins later. Sure, that's only about 5 hours of testing, but it's a hell of a lot of improvement over my <5 minute sprints on Monday and Tuesday.

Yesterday at night I played it fine, without crashes, but i'm still experiencing too much lag. And still afraid of getting bsod's, cause i dont want to damage my pc.
i'll try playing again tonight, hope the trouble is gone

I've been having this problem once in a while, but I usually notice it happening after 7-8 hours of straight gameplay, usually when PC hasn't been rebooted for days, and I run dual monitors and stream Twitch pretty much all the time.

On a somewhat different note, I attempted to stream the game live on Twitch myself yesterday and experienced INSANE flashing in the stream. Any thoughts on that?

I was playing without problems since last week, i turned the FXAA on again because i was upset with that edges, and them i get bsod again, maybe the problem are in our computers, not with the game, even if it happen only on this game
